[erlang-questions] ETS In Erlang

[Kenneth Lundin]

>From the documentation of ets:

{keypos,Pos} Specfies which element inthe stored tuples should be used as
key. By default, it is the first element, i.e. Pos=1.However, this is not
always appropriate. In particular, we do not want the first element to be
the key if we want to store Erlang records in a table.

Note that any tuple stored in the table must have at least Pos number of
elements.

http://erlang.org/doc/man/ets

The keypos option does not change the tuples that are stored in the table,
it just
tell which element that should be used as key for the table in question.
